Notes.

LA, leaf area; LN, Leaves number; PH, plant height; SD, stem diameter; and RL, root length. Data represent means ± SD of two plants by replicate (five replicate determinations). Each value in columns followed by different letters indicates significant (P <0.05) difference by ANOVA and the Scott Knott test.
